Hey all,
Can I get some advice on rear ported monitors in my small home setup?
Currently I've got 2 x KRK 6 (G2's) with first reflections in the room treated.
Unfortunately the monitors sit 800mm (2"7') from the side walls and about 600mm (2") from the front wall - So quite pushed into the corner of the room.
I understand this is not optimal but it's not really a problem for my uses - I've been mixing music on them for 5 or so years and they seem to be ok as a reference - the mix seems to travel to other speakers and devices well, so it can't be that bad.
One KRK just died and I'm looking for a new pair of monitors. I was looking at the Yamaha HS7s reviews seeing comments like "The rear-mounted port prevents optimal placement in smaller studios".
You think I should be avoiding rear ports?
I'm not sure in understand speaker ports fully. If it's a case of extra bass response then the Yamahas can adjust for that. There's been option for bass adjustment on the front ported KRKs and they've been fine sd reference.
Any help appreciated
